Snipes Saturday NBA

In love with both of these plays. Cleveland seems to be worn down lately as they keep winning game late. I have no issue with that as long as they don't win by over 8 points. Jumping on a hot ATL team right now that has started to play some excellent defense. I think they can keep it close, and maybe even steal one due to the Cav's not playing up to their potential. If Atlanta can push the ball a bit I think they can give the Cavs a tough time to win this one.

*15 - Atlanta Hawks +8.5 @ Cleveland Cavs



Los Angeles Lakers have a string of some really bad games. I know this team in and out and I know that they are sometimes flat out pathetic. At home especially, when they are up against weak teams, they decide not to show up. With the bench being called out, Kobe having 2 very very poor games, Gasol heating up, this has a Lakers blowout written all over it. Chicago will keep this game close early, and probably even jump out to an early lead; I just think Kobe will go off this game and the troops will follow. Chicago matches up extremely well with the Lakers, and I'm a little upset with the line at -4. I was really hoping it would be around -2 or so. Unfortunately, it is what it is. I have no idea which way the line will jump, so I'm getting on this now. Big bounce back game for the Lakers who have something to actually prove this game. They take it by 9-11 points.

*10 - Los Angeles Lakers @ Chicago Bulls
